Hi Joseph,

I did look at what you said about cruise power at 25,000 feet and you are right that the specified power is inadequate.  All my testing and tweaking was at more conventional cruise altitudes of around 30-35,000 feet and then at low altitude low speed conditions.  To improve this issue would involve substantially re-doing one of turbine tables in the airfile and I am not sure I when if ever I will have time to do that.  For a conventional flight with high altitude cruise, the tables work well for Mach .8 or .78 cruise.  I never bothered with Mach .84, so I don't know if that works well.

I have once (last night in fact)had a problem with going from flaps 15 to 30 at too high a speed immediately after catching the glide slope (on autopilot)and ending up in a significantly nose down attitude when the aircraft ballooned up well above the glide slope due the increased lift.  That was my error and the autopilot didn't cope well with the result or with my flailing about the throttle levers.  I guess what I am saying is maybe you did have the mod installed properly but the approach went wrong for some other reason.  But I have done many, many approaches that went perfectly with this flight model.

Really i think the most likely explanation is that you are getting way too much flap lift because of some error in modifying the config file or somehow getting a mismatch in pairing the right config and air files.

I know there are some imperfections with the flight model and some of them I am sure will eventually be sorted, but I have very limited time to so.  Personally, I like the result -- it works for the flights I have done with it so I thought I would share my work for those who want to try it.

Micheal,
One other thing came to my attention at the end of yesterday test flight. 727-100  1.37 Hour flight  fuel  consumption  reached to 26,000 Lbs. I lost number two in short  final, and one and three  during the touchdown.
Is it normal?

Micheal,
1-fuel_flow_scalar=1.05   Inserted

2-ThrustSpecificFuelConsumption = 0.725 Inserted

3- cs727100.air file replaced

4-Captain_Sim.p721.C07.CAB replaced


Here is PR gouges picture. Is it OK? I dont see TAT indicator?

I will make another test flight  and will inform.
Regards

I gave up on  ERP gauges. Some thing totally went wrong during installation. During test flight 727-100 was unstable. ERP thrust was unlimited 4000ft climb all the way 30000ft. Landing 120KT indicated AS, but it must be over 200Kt in short final. It was hard to control plane on the rwy. Trim the airplane was impossible.

So I am going to uninstall and reinstall 727-100X. May be when I am ready  in future days I will try it again.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Sanal

I downloaded the edited flight model exactly by the instructions and edited the aircraft.cfg file. What happend was my aircraft able to climb at 5,000FPM, while gaining airspeed at almost a nose level attitude. I have a difficult time harnessing the aircrafts power and keeping in from overspeed. when i did get control, when i captured a glide slope the nose went to a -15-20 nose down attitude with the standard ils decent rate.

I believe there was, I mean in flap01, 01,02, etc, do we copy and paste what u provieded over the entire respective flap## or just the area of your edit, I mean like:

[flaps.2]
type= 2
span-outboard= 0.589
extending-time= 10.0
system_type= 1
damaging-speed= 250.0
blowout-speed= 300.0
lift_scalar= 1.000
drag_scalar= 1.000
pitch_scalar= 1.000
flaps-position.0= 0
flaps-position.1= 0
flaps-position.2= 1

this is the aircraft.cfg:

[flaps.2]
type= 2
span-outboard= 0.8
extending-time= 10.0
system_type= 1
damaging-speed= 250.0
blowout-speed= 300.0
lift_scalar= 1.000
drag_scalar= 1.000
pitch_scalar= 1.000
flaps-position.0= 0
flaps-position.1= 1
flaps-position.2= 2
flaps-position.3= 2
flaps-position.4= 2
flaps-position.5= 2
flaps-position.6= 2

Do we copy and paste your edit over that entire selection or just the specific edits u made for flaps2?

OK cool I will try it out later. I am going to assume thats why people were having problems on approach, etc...right when the flaps were being extended. thanks
